After the boat trip out to Isla Ballestas we visited the Paracas desert where we found fossils and piles of shells in the windswept sand and viewed the coast from various positions throughout the park. We had lunch at a restaurant and beach area and climbed a hill for great views over the fishing village. Later in the day we visited the museum where there is a lot of information about conservation of the natural habitat. Paracas was hit by a tsunami after the earthquake in Pisco in 2007, there are a few boats still washed up miles inland.
